What is a ratio?

'A ratio is a mathematical expression written in the form of a : b, where a and b are any integers. It expresses a fraction.'

According to the given problem,

Given ratio = 4:7

Total number of students = 44

Let the unknown integer multiplier be x,

⇒ 4x + 7x = 44

⇒ 11x = 44

⇒ x = 4

Number of boys = 4 × 4

                           = 16

Number of girls = 4 × 7

                          = 28

Therefore number of boys to be enrolled = 28 - 16

                                                                     = 12

Hence, we can conclude, 12 boys should be enrolled with the already enrolled 16 so as to make boys : girls as 1 : 1.
